Read full description

Extracts every X (Twitter) mention of a target username for brand monitoring and social listening by scraping mentioning posts and returning one record per mention that includes mention text, post identifiers and URL, creation timestamp, language, engagement metrics (likes, retweets, replies, quotes, views, bookmarks), author profile details (username, display name, follower count, verification status), and reply context (whether the mention is a reply, conversation identifier, and replied-to account). Technical capabilities include time-bounded fetching, cursor-based pagination with a resumable cursor for large mention volumes across multiple runs, and capture of conversational context and engagement metadata for each mention.
